1Then all the people of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] took ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah], who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty]. 2He built Elot [grove of lofty trees], and restored it to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], after that the king slept with his fathers. 3Sixteen years old [was] ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. His mother's name also [was] Y’kholyahu [Yehovah is able] of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. 4And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), according to all that his father Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] did. 5And he sought God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in the days of Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], who had understanding in the visions of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: and as long as he sought the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] made him to prosper.

6And he went forth and warred against the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and broke down the wall of Gat [Winepress], and the wall of Yavneh [building of God], and the wall of Ashdod [powerful], and built cities about Ashdod [powerful], and among the P’lishtim [Immigrants]. 7And God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] helped him against the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-Ba’al [dwelling of lord], and the Me’unim [habitations]. 8And the ‘Amon [Inbred] gave gifts to ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah]: and his name spread abroad [even] to the entering in of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]; for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly. 9Moreover ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] built towers in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning [of the wall], and fortified them. 10Also he built towers in the desert, and excavated many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen [also], and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel [Garden-land]: for he loved husbandry. 11Moreover ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Ye’i’el [God sweeps away] the scribe and Ma’aseiyah [work of Yehovah] the ruler, under the hand of Hananyah [God has favoured], [one] of the king's captains. 12The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour [were] two thousand and six hundred. 13And under their hand [was] an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. 14And ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings [to cast] stones. 15And he made in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

16But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to [his] destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and went into the temple of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 17And ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [that were] valiant men: 18And they withstood ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] the king, and said unto him, [It pertains] not unto youⁱ, ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah], to burn incense unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but to the priests the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High], that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for youⁱ have trespassed; neither [shall it be] for youⁱ honour from the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. 19Then ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] was exceedingly angry, and [had] a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was exceedingly angry with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), from beside the incense altar. 20And ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from there; yes, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had smitten him. 21And ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, [being] a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] his son [was] over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

22Now the rest of the acts of ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah], first and last, did Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the prophet, the son of Amotz [strong], write. 23So ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which [belonged] to the kings; for they said, He [is] a leper: and Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] his son reigned in his stead.
